First Confrontation
Ruby wakes up, gets out the bed, and looks around. The room is empty. She walks into the other room where her team is waiting.
"Where's Onyx?" Ruby asks.
"We don't know." Yang answers.
"He was gone when we woke up." Weiss adds.
Onyx's motorcycle is gone with him. Ruby thinks back to when she and Weiss were investigating to second floor of Davy's warehouse. On a board was a map of Vale with two locations circled. One was their current location and Ruby didn't know what the other was.
"Weiss, remember the map we found?" Ruby asks.
"Yeah. Why?" Weiss responds.
"I think the second location is Davy's safehouse. That must be where Onyx went." Ruby explains.
Ruby walks to a table with her teams weapons and grabs Crescent Rose.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Ruby says.
The others grab their weapons and follow Ruby out the warehouse.
Onyx stops his motorcycle in front a large abandoned mansion. He gets off his motorcycle and walks to the front door. Onyx opens it slowly. Inside there are candles lighting up the place.
"So much for being abandoned." Onyx mumbles to himself.
He walks through a hallway until he reaches the grand hall. On the other end stands a man, covered in shadow.
"I knew you'd come." The man states.
His raucous voice echoes across the room.
"Night." Onyx says.
The man walks out the shadow revealing himself. Night wears a sleeveless black tactical top. Over his elbows are black leather elbow bands. Covering his hands are black leather fingerless gloves. The left stops at his wrist while the right stops two-thirds up his forearm. Over each forearm is a gunmetal grey vambrace. Held up by a grey belt with black pouches are black leather pants. His pants are tucked into knee-high tactical boots with gunmetal grey soles and toes. Night also wears gunmetal grey knee guards and shin guards over the boots. His face was rough and completely hairless with the exception of his thick black eyebrows. Onyx clenches his fists.
"What? No hug? I'm hurt." Night says.
"Cut the act." Onyx says.
"Ozpin was right you know, the only way to win this game was not to play." Night states.
Onyx fists loosen.
"You're wondering how I knew he used those words. Ozpin has always been predictable, just like you." Night explains.
"I didn't come here to talk." Onyx says as he draws Dark Sympathy.
A blade extends from each of Night's vambraces.
"Then let's get on with it." Night suggests.
The two charge at one another. Onyx swings at Night's neck. Night ducks and tackles Onyx through a portal to the Shadow Zone. Onyx kicks Night off of him and they both get up, weapons at the ready.
"You think you control this realm?" Night taunts, "You barely begun to unlock it's potential."
Night body gets outlined in a fiery crimson aura.
"You know how to keep your aura in this realm, I've learned how to strengthen it." He says.
Onyx swings at Night and his blade fazes through him.
"I've also learned how to enter and exit the realm without a portal." Night states.
Night body splits into three copies of himself, creating a total of four Night's. Onyx recognizes it as Windsor's semblance.
"Windsor could only spit in two, I can split into ten without major strain on my body." Every Night says.
Each Night dashes at Onyx and slices at his sides. Onyx falls to one knee and the Night's recombine. Onyx turns to look at Night. He slashes upwards and Night jumps to the side, dodging the fiery, crimson Aura slash. Onyx charges at Night and draws White Wolf, he slashes both in an X formation launching two fiery Aura slashes in an X formation. Night is hit by both slashes and slides backwards. He smirks as they charge and clash.
The clashes causes several candles to fall and set the floor on fire. The fire slowly spreads.
Team RWBY wanders through the street trying to remember the exact location marked on the map. Ruby sees the smoke from the fire.
"There!" Ruby alerts her team.
They run to the mansion.
Night kicks Onyx backwards and converts one of his blades into a arm mounted crossbow and the other into a kunai connected by a chain. Night fires three bolts at Onyx and launches the kunai at one of the supports above him. While Onyx blocks the bolts, Night pulls down the wooden beam. It lands on top of Onyx, pinning him to the ground.
"Normally you'd be able to lift that with ease." Night taunts, "But, with so much our your strength depleted, you're weak."
As Onyx tries to lift the beam, Night walks towards him. Night starts twirling the kunai to build momentum for his finishing swing.
"Tell Windsor I said 'hello.'" Night says.
His swing is interrupted by a sniper shot from Ruby. Night turns towards her and her team.
"Children? You insult me Onyx." Night taunts.
Yang, Blake, and Weiss engage Night while Ruby runs to Onyx.
"Can you get free?" Ruby asks.
"I almost got it, just need more time." Onyx answers.
Ruby runs to join her team. Her assistant still leaves Night with the upper hand. Night launches his kunai, it wraps around Yang's ankle. Night pulls on it causing her to fall and the chain trips Weiss who was trying to flank Night. He converts the other blade into another kunai with chain and launches it at Blake. Blake backflips while creating a clone to take the hit for her. While Yang tries to untangle the chain from her ankle, Night swings her into Ruby, the impact causes the chain to untangle itself. Weiss then uses a glyph to launch herself into Night. He catches her by her neck and slams her into the wall. The impact causes Weiss to drop her rapier.
"A Schnee, interesting." Night comments.
Night slams Weiss into the wall again and then he throws her to the side. Yang runs up to Night and tries to punch him, but Night backflips creating a fiery clone of himself similarly to Blake. The clone explodes knocking Yang throuh the wall into the Dining Room. Night lands on Weiss' hand as she crawls to Myrtenaster and Weiss screams in pain. Blake swings her katana creating an Aura slash, but Night blocks the strike with a shadowy purple glyph similar to Weiss. Ruby swings her scythe at his legs, but Night jumps and lands on the blade. He runs across the weapon and kicks Ruby in the face causing her to drop Crescent Rose and get launched into a wall. The impact knocks her out. Blake converts Gambol Shroud into it's pistol form and fires at Night. He opens a portal to the Shadow Zone and another opens behind Blake. The rounds travel through the portals and hit Blake in the back. Night then launches his kunais towards Blake. They each wrap around her arms. Night pulls Blake towards him and kicks her away once she's close enough. Blake unconscious body lands on Weiss who was clutching her injured hand. Night converts one of his kunais back into it's arm blade form. He walks to Ruby and grabs her by her hair. Night lifts Ruby into the air and draws his arm back to stab her, but Night hears a noise and throws Ruby at the source of it, which is Yang. She catches her sister and lays Ruby on the ground. Night launches his kunai at Yang but it is intercepted by Onyx.
"Get your team out of here!" He orders.
Yang picks up Ruby and nods. Onyx pulls on the chain, sending Night towards him. Night tries to stab Onyx, but he grabs Night's wrist. Onyx throws Night through a wall into another hallway. Onyx then jumps through and tries to stab Night with both katanas, but Night rolls out the way and kicks Onyx in the head. The mansion crumbles around the two warriors.
Yang lays down her teammates outside the burning mansion. Ruby wakes up.
"What happened." Ruby asks.
"Night destroyed us." Yang says.
"Where's Onyx?" Ruby says as she looks around.
"Still inside." Yang answers.
Ruby gets up and runs inside to get him.
"Ruby, no!" Yang calls as she follows.
Onyx kicks Night into a wall and tries to impale him wih Dark Sympathy. Night blocks with a glyph. Onyx strikes the glyph with White Wolf, shattering it. He swings at Night, who creates a fiery afterimage. Onyx rolls backwards to dodge the explosion. He runs and tackles Night through the wall into a bedroom. Night kicks Onyx off of him and gets up. Night then launches his kunai at Onyx. The blade splits into it's crossbow form while still on the chain and hits Onyx, knocking him through the wall back into the grand hall. Night jumps through and launches the kunai again. The chain wraps around Onyx's wrist and Onyx pulls on the chain to bring Night towards him. Onyx grabs Night by his neck and slams him into the ground. Onyx places his knee and foot on each one of Night's arms to prevent them from moving.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time." Onyx says.
Onyx raises Dark Sympathy.
"Onyx! We need to go!" Ruby yells.
She runs next to Onyx and pulls on his arm. Yang tries to follow but falling debris separates her from them.
"Get off of me!" Onyx orders.
Ruby continues trying to pull Onyx towards the exit to no avail.
"Killing Night won't bring back Windsor." Ruby says.
"This isn't your battle, stay out of it!" Onyx yells.
"If you kill Night in your anger, you'll be just like him." Ruby says.
"I am nothing like Night!" Onyx yells.
He backhands Ruby while creating a wave of fiery crimson Aura. The wave knocks Ruby's limp body across the room and shatters all the surrounding supports, causing the ceiling to start collapsing. A cut forms on Ruby's cheek and starts to bleed. Night starts laughing.
"You've finally started taping into the true power of the Chaos Zone." Night states, "But will you use it to kill me or save her?"
Burning rubble begins to fall towards Ruby.
"I'll make the decision easy." Night says.
Night phases through the floor and disappears. Onyx dashes towards Ruby and jumps on top of her. He creates a portal beneath them and they fall through. Closing it before the burning rubble can enter with them.
